By vote at the State election on November 8, 2016, the voters of the Commonwealth approved a law regulating the cultivation, manufacture, processing, distribution, sale, possession, testing and use of marijuana. The law and the subsequent amendment thereto provides that it is effective on December 15, 2016, and that a new state agency, the Cannabis Control Commission (CCC), is required to issue regulations regarding implementation by March 15, 2018. Section 5.6.5 of the Zoning Bylaw allows Registered Medical Marijuana Dispensaries by Special Permit. The regulation of other types of Marijuana Establishments, however, raises novel and complex legal, planning, and public safety issues. The Town needs time to consider and address these issues, as well as the potential impact of the forthcoming Cannabis Control Commission regulations, by means of a comprehensive planning process to consider amending the Zoning Bylaw to regulate Marijuana Establishments. The temporary moratorium provided in Section 5.6.6 is intended to allow sufficient time for the Town to engage in such a planning process and to adopt suitable Zoning Bylaw provisions in a manner consistent with sound land-use planning objectives. 5.6.6.2 Temporary Moretorium. For the reasons set forth above and notwithstanding any other provision of the Zoning Bylaw to the contrary, the Town hereby adopts a temporary moratorium on the use of land or structures as a Marijuana Establishment. The moratorium shall be in effect through August 31, 2018. During the moratorium period, the Town shall undertake a planning process to address the potential impacts of Marijuana Establishments and other related land uses and structures, consider the Cannabis Control Commission regulations regarding Marijuana Establishments when they are issued, and shall consider adopling new provisions of the Zoning Bylaw governing the location, operation � and effects of Marijuana Establishments for consideration by the 2018 Annual Town Meeting. and (d) Renumbering subsequent provisions of Section 5.6 accordingly; = or take any other action in relation thereto.
